10/1      Kasabian

10/1      Morrissey

10/1      The Jam

12/1      Coldplay

12/1      Oasis

12/1      Led Zeppelin

Better than any of the non Led Zep alternatives!

[plaskins]

I think you meant to say lowest odds..

Where are the Rolling Stones.. must be some value there if they are higher than 12/1!

All that tells us is that bookies cannot be used to predict anything.

Is there a website for this? Wouldn't mind laying down some money on a few bands

actually its quite simple, favourites are not always the most likely to win, in a market like this where its not based on form ect the favourite will basically be the one that most people are likely to bet onj, and lets face it, a lot of people want radiohead to headline, which effects how many people will bet on them too win.

the best value there imo is:

Muse (99% chance of playin, 8/1 punt worth it on a 50/50 shot sat/sun)


P.S.  i am a bookie and have been for 8 years

edit: Stones at 50/1 is HUGE and defo worth a small punt

£10er on the Stones for a chance of winning £500. Sounds like a great bet to me, given the strength of recent rumours!

Umm Mr Wolf, even were those odds for this year, aren't they playing the Friday? A wolves supporter and his money are easily parted

And people wonder why I never bet on the football - I'd probably put the full time scores in the half time column or something!



Wolf FAIL.
